Thrift Store Thursday 06/25

I had a pretty good week at the shops!

At Goodwill I found these faux pomegranates. They were $1 each, but I really liked them, thought they’d be great vase fillers, and I couldn’t get them for less than that somewhere else.I wasn’t too crazy about my lone jar of lemons before, but I think the poms really help the whole thing. I’m thinking a third jar with limes or something would complete the grouping nicely.

Today I made my weekly trip to United Volunteers, for 25% off everything. I got a brand new-with-tags pair of Children’s Place pants for Pinkerbelle, $2 (after discount). A Shopaholic book, and a book by the author of The Other Boleyn Girl (I really enjoyed the book, not so much the movie). I think they were 30 cents each. Also got a couple of books for Skippy, but he ran off with them before I could take the photo.

Then there are these: pillows made from U.S Mint bags! I did a wee bit of research and it appears that these may be authentic bags. It is unfortunate that they are indeed stuffed with polyfill, and not $1050 worth of coins. But, after all, I only paid $1.45 each.
